2026 Ford Bronco review

Ford Bronco: a sensible pick with a few compromises. Illustrative review

7.9/10 OffLot expert score

The 2026 Ford Bronco is a strong contender in its class. Ride stays composed on rough pavement; roomy second row and flexible cargo floor. Touch-only climate controls on some trims and third row (where offered) is for kids, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $42,000, it lines up with most direct rivals.

Good, not perfect

We cross-shopped three others and this won on cargo room. the touchscreen climate controls is the trade-off.
